I live in Florence, so why not blog about it?

Salve. My name is Tiana Kai M. I was born in Hawai’i and raised in Miami. In 2002, I studied abroad in Florence and now I’m back living here. There’s a whole backstory to my return, which I will share in upcoming posts. Plus, I’ll share my new plans moving forward in a world filled with carbs, wine and romance.

Reasons this blog was created

share stories and lessons learned with other expats, family and friends

influence expats and travelers who find themselves in Florence

dig deep into my new surroundings

connect with other expats

My posts will divulge trials and tribulations via an American looking glass in order to uncover influences and idiosyncrasies that lay within this historic country I now call home. A culture filled with distinctive ideals, values, outlooks and style. I hope to explore and share as much as possible, plus post a few pictures, reviews and recipes along the way.

It’s good to be back!

Post comments or questions. I would love to answer and discuss.
